This invention relates to advertising dc vices of the kind in' which pictures mounted in a holder or picture carrying ribbon performing a stepwise movement are projected by means of a number of rojecting devices on different projecting sur aces The object of the invention isto provide an advertising device of the ,kind specified, which can easily be adapted for the projection of pictures on various projecting surfaces, such as walls, sidewalks, windows etc. according to the locality in which the advertising device is to be placed.

In order to attain this object of the inventi on, the several projectors of the advertising 1 device which may have one source of light in common, are each combined with an adjustable reflecting surface, such as a mirror, adapted to be tilted about two axes so that the pictures projected thru each projector may be directed against any surface in the neighbourhood of theadvertising devlce by the simple adjustment of the-reflecting mirror cooperating with the'said projector.

According to one preferred embodiment of the invention the projecting device comprising picture holder, source of light and a suitablenumber of projectors, is mounted in a case, the side walls of which are formed by translucent picture surfaces on which the pictures from a number of the projectors are projected, whereas other projectors throw their pictures on reflecting surfaces outside the casing in'order to be projected on convenient picture surfaces in the neighbourhood. In the drawings Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view on the line 1-1 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is a cross section on the line II -II of Fig. 1.

The projecting device comprises an annular picture holder 1 mounted to rotate j 6 enclosing the rotatable picture holder 1. I

The pictures projected by the projecting upon a vertical axis 2, which is given a step wise movement by-means of any conventional" operating device 3, which may be'electrically or otherwise operated. The source of light, such as an electric lamp 4 is mounted in the center of the ring, and a number of projectors 5 are mounted radially in a stationary casing device fi are cast reflecting surf as mirrors-7 01"8', said mirrors trated,;, some of these picture "surfaces formed'by the stained glass sides 9 of alantern shaped casing enclosing the 4 device from the mirrors 7 The ight rays are projected on the auxiliary mirrors-'10 near the top ofthe' said casing,and from" said auxiliary mirrors 10 they are again reflected on to the stained glass sides 9.

The use of the auxiliary mirrors 10 makes it possible to obtain a suificient projecting distance between the projectors 5 and the picture surfaces 9.

Other reflecting mirrors such as 8, are

projecting ble so as to direct the pictures at convenient picture surfaces surroundin'g the projecting be adjusted in linear direction of. and anguf I larly about their axes. I I

At the same time the said mirrors 8. are

adapted to be adjusted angularly about anaxis 12, so that it will be seen that the mir rorsare variously adjustable andthatthe J I pictures reflected thereby may be directedf at any convenient picture surface in the.

neighbourhood of the device. Although it is preferred to combine'the projecting device with alanternyshaped casing, such as illustrated, the invention is not limited to the combination of the projecting device with a lantern of this kind, as the device according to the invention may also be utilized solely forthe purpose of pro- 2 jecting advertising pictures and the like in succession on a number of conveniently situated projection surfaces surroundingthe,

device.
